the biggest game-making event in the world!

On the 25th - 27th January 2019 we'll gather again for the biggest game
making event in the world. During one weekend, over 200 game developers,
game students and game/tech enthusiasts will gather to create great game
ideas. During the event we will brainstorm and pitch ideas, divide into
teams, and create as many games as possible within 48 hours.

Everyone is welcome, we need all kinds of skills - from programmers to
game designers, artists and musicians. People with no previous
experience are also encouraged to join us, share their perspective
and learn more about game development. If this sounds like fun,
check out our signup section!
